Putting things in perspective: March 21st 2010 to October 1 2013 is 3 years, 6 months, 10 days.  December 7, 1941 to May 8, 1945 is 3 years, 5 months, 1 day.  What this means is that in the time we were attacked at Pearl Harbor to the day Germany surrendered ....

Word.

stay safe.

To be fair to Obamacare, they never managed to create a working webpage during WW2 either.

They didn't even have WINDOWS®  back then.

World war two also cost $4.2T and had most of the countries resources dedicated to it.

healthcare.gov cost a scant 400 million, and ACA is estimated to cost only $1.3T over the 2014–2023 period. (All 2011 adjusted dollars, CBO's numbers)

The difference in cost and depth of debt has little interst for me.

My question is, what surplus arms will be available after ACA?

Which is roughly the cost of an Iowa class Battleship.


healthcare.gov vs say, USS New Jersey? I think the taxpaeyers got a lot more out of one of these items than the other.

Right arms, left arms.  Bribe your local death panel and take your pick.

How long did it take to get to 6 millions after the 1973 roe vs wade decision?  Thought the real nazi civvie death toll was closer to 20mil, as the nazis killed christians over jews to the rate of 2 to 1.

Although...
1. The analogy was with _winning_ ww2, not replicating  its horrors.
2. Retail atrocity is awful enough, but it takes wholesale socialist programs to rack and stack the bodies like cordwood.

Gotta try harder than that to get anywhere near the Soviets.  I've seen the number 26 million kicked around.

The Wikipedia page on Soviet killings contains one of the great quotes:

Quote
"there is very little in the record of human experience to match the violence unleashed between 1917, when the Bolsheviks took power, and 1953, when Joseph Stalin died and the Soviet Union moved to adopt a more restrained and largely non-murderous domestic policy."

How many conservative people are in this country that require expensive maintenance medications or treatments to stay alive?
I'm betting that 6 million number could be busted in a month.
